"It's amazing how powerful prayer is. Quaid is doing great!" his sister Cailyn Crandell posted as a facebook update on Tuesday.  "I was able to spend almost 18 hours with him in the past two days and LOVED every minute of it. When I would come home for a day or two Quaid would come out with me and our friends, now we all just go to him and talk about everything we have done and will do again.

"His strength is unmeasurable and his spirit is uncommon," she added.

Those who cannot attend the event but would like to make a contribution can mail a check to The Michael Bruce Fund, c/o Quaid Mobus, PO Box 858, Martinsville, NJ 08836.
